NECKTIE HOLDER.

Application filed. January 10, 1928.

My invention relates to necktie holders of the type adaptable to wear about the neck. It has for its objects to make it possible to put on, wear, and remove DGClILlQS without tying or untying the same after the tie has once been properly adjusted; to thereby increase the wearing life of a tie; to make it possible to change ties without removing the collar; and to provide the various other advantages and results made evident from the following specification.

l accomplish the objects of my invention as shown in the accompanying drawings which form a part of this specification and in which Figure 1 shows persl ective view of device. Figure 2 shows a cross sectional on the line A A in Figure 1. Figure shows my device in use. Referring again .0 the figures, B shows the band portion of my device, which is narrowed from the bot- Jeing continuously strai ht, The holdting ers D' and E depend roin opposite tl band B and are doubled ever 11 ion themselves to form hooks, the terminals or which are incident to or below the bottom edge of the band and face inward y so as to form an efl eotive grip on the under side of the inner portion of the collar. he ends oil": the D and E are criniped at F and G, and H and I, so as to increase their gripping power. The straight line top maintains the posit in of the tie near the top of the cellar as shown in Figure A changing of the stra' it line from the top to the bottom and a narrowing of the band from the top to the bottom may optionally be had and results in the tie shown in Figure 3 being fixed in a lowered position.

Serial No. 245,943.

My device is preferably made from thin gage spring steel shaped as shown in Figure but any other suitable material may as well .0 used. It is also preferably made from a ingle continuous sheet. The device is adaptble for tour in hand, how and ribbon ties, tits turn down collars, starched or semi-soft and effectively holds the tie in place.

While I have illustrated and described a prefer ed construction for carrying my in vention into eii'ect this is capable of variation or modification without departing from 1e spirit of the invention. I therefore do not wish to be limited to the exact details of construction herein set forth but desire to avail ni iseli oi such variations and modifications as coine within the scope of the appended clain'i.

ving thus described my invention I claim as new and (.esire to secure by Letters P tent of the United States of America:
